Ezekiel 35
The Prophecy against
Mount Seir |
1 |
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
|
2 |
Son of man, set thy face against mount
Se'ir, Is. 34.5-17 ; 63.1-6 · Jer. 49.7-22 · Ezek.
25.12-14 · Amos 1.11, 12 · 1.14 · Mal. 1.2-5 and prophesy against it,
|
3 |
and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Behold, O mount Se'ir, I am against
thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make
thee most desolate.
|
4 |
I will lay thy cities waste, and thou
shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
|
5 |
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred,
and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the
force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
|
6 |
therefore, as I live, saith the
Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and
blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, even blood
shall pursue thee.
|
7 |
Thus will I make mount Se'ir most
desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that
returneth.
|
8 |
And I will fill his mountains with his
slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy
rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
|
9 |
I will make thee perpetual desolations,
and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
|
10 |
Because thou hast said, These two
nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess
it; whereas the LORD was there:
|
11 |
therefore, as I live, saith the
Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine
anger, and according to thine envy, which thou hast used out of thy
hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I
have judged thee.
|
12 |
And thou shalt know that I am the
LORD, and that I have heard all thy
blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel,
saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to
consume.
|
13 |
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted
against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
|
14 |
Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee
desolate.
|
15 |
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance
of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto
thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Se'ir, and all Idume'a, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the
LORD.
